Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] kernel/panic/kexec: fix "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
 option issue in oops path

The commit f06e5153f4ae2e2f3b0300f0e260e40cb7fefd45 introduced
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles
wheather panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump
kmsg or after.

The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot
option. If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without
going through panic() in oops path.

To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" in the condition of kexec_should_crash().

Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious
things on this patch.
